Dave Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 LMAO... I saw Christmas stuff in Tesco yesterday... I hate the way it is built up so much so early, I like Christmas... just not the early build up. What are your thoughts? Too early? Not early enough?

BlueWolf Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 We have Sinterklaas on the December the 5th (it's basically like what you have on Christmas, only it's more focussed on children). It's a tradition that Sinterklaas and his helpers throw pepernoten at the children. Normally these are reserved for just these days but they're already in the shops for a month now. The fun with these traditions is that they only happen around Sinterklaas and it loses its fun when you already have them before it even starts Why do they do that? Money, money, money... By the way, these are pepernoten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakotaslevin Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I think the hype of it all is too early, I will shop all year for Christmas, if I see something I think someone will like I will get it whether its January, July or December. The decorations and marketing of Christmas is horrible, spoils the fun of it all. What happened to 12 days of Christmas, won't be long until it's 12 months of Christmas -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Might aswell make an advent calendar for all year round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakotaslevin Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I haven't actually noticed anything too Christmassy yet, just the tins of Roses and Quality Street on offer like every year and the odd pack of cards, but I know there is more out there haha. I saw a doggy advent calender today though at the vets for £5.00. Was tempted, but no toooo sooon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yes, exactly two months from now the main holiday of the season, Christmas, takes place. So of course now that there are only about 60 days left to go shopping, everyone must hurry. That’s true in more than just racing. In retailing, you have to be the first to sell holiday goods because once the idea of an item is planted in a shopper’s head, you’re unlikely to steal that business from your competition without a price cut. If you don’t like it, stay indoors. That’s what I do.) By the way i do work for Tesco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakotaslevin Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 By the way i do work for Tesco God, how do you cope I tend to stay clear of retail areas during the 3-4 month "Christmas Period" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lebe03 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Christmas Bah humbug. It's far too commercialised for my liking and as a result the meaning has been lost for some people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I start looking forward to Christmas just after my birthday in June. I start buying gifts so the cost is spread out. But I agree Christmas decorations should be on sale from November so people can buy them ready to put up in December but nothing should be put up until then. Although last year we didn't put any decorations up, we had not long moved in and we were going to be spending Christmas around the family's houses so didn't see the point!

Dave Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I usually put the Decorations up around a week.. maybe two at most before Christmas day and I usually do all of my shopping on Chirstmas eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Haven't seen Christmas stuff yet. They're too busy advertising for Thanksgiving (October) and Halloween. As soon as Halloween is over, though, then the put the Christmas stuff up. It's annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
